LITTLE ROCK  Happy birthday. Because you’re one of those rare people who actually takes pleasure in the success of your friends, you will be included on a winning team this year. The success of the group will bring you many personal rewards, including monetary gain.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Random scattered efforts can at times be magically effective, but not now. The result you desire is best attained with a methodical approach.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t believe what you hear about other people. You’ll keep friends if you steer clear of gossip and make up your own mind about people. Base your opinions on your personal experience instead of hearsay.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Doing something correctly once is not enough to constitute success. What if it was a fluke? Truly successful actions can be repeated.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’re a kind of social director now, so create social scenarios in which you can shine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is good enough really good enough? In certain jobs, you feel that you must go beyond the expectation for your efforts to really count.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It is far easier for you to accept others as imperfect than to accept yourself as a work in progress. Keep in mind that you bond with your fellow man through your vulnerabilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Self-confidence takes time. You may feel that there is some area of your life in which you are under performing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There will be a bit of inner turmoil to contend with, so anything you can do to bring a sense of calm to your inner world will be extremely helpful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are in such a laid back mood that others feel instantly relaxed when they are around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): To be human is to sometimes fear that you’re not going to be good enough to handle the task at hand. Don’t believe the doubting voices.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are fully aware that what works for you won’t work for everyone. Share your opinions and stories just in case someone else can benefit from what you’ve already figured out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):You will be praised for your talent and skill.The personal satisfaction you get from doing your best is your strongest motivation.
